They announced the deal on the search giant's social network Google+ but did not reveal the financial terms. This would be a great way for Google to maintain a positive look when it comes to the concern and assisting in the health of the world today. I believe it is a great way of broadening their horizons, further than where it is already. Google have been advancing rapidly in the past years and I assure you this is probably just the beginning of a whole different era.

Today they welcomed the Lift Labs team into Google X. Their tremor-cancelling device could improve quality of life for millions of people," said Google. For its part, Lift Labs wrote: "Google will enable us to reach even more people living with Parkinson's or essential tremor who could benefit from using tremor cancelling devices every day." Google is gradually increasing its health portfolio. In January it unveiled its smart contact lenses that measure glucose levels in tears to help monitor people with conditions such as diabetes. And in July it announced an ambitious science project (Basline Study) to collect anonymous genetic and molecular information to create a picture of what a healthy human should be like. For co-founder Sergey Brin the move into healthcare is a personal one. His mother developed Parkinson's and, after gene testing, he found that he has a higher than average chance of getting the disease. Meanwhile his fellow co-founder Larry Page, who suffers from a rare vocal cords problem, is interested in how big data can help solve some of the world's most problematic diseases. He has made public his hope that people would overcome privacy fears to make their medical records available to researchers. Google's semi-secret research facility Google X was set up to work on cutting-edge technology. Other projects include Google's driverless car, balloons to deliver broadband and Google Glass.
